Understanding Steemit

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Good morning fellow Steemians,

I have been on Steemit for a few weeks and I am somewhat confused and was hoping to get some clarification. For example :

  • I saw a post that had earned $7.61 but it only had 2 upvotes, 2 views and no comments. How is this possible?
  • Another post had several views, 2 upvotes but $0.00.

Sorry if these are silly questions and thank you in advance to anyone who helps :)

Hello And Welcome To Steemit!

It is a platform like none other. You can get to know people from all over the world. If you continue to post great informative content you will grow a following in no time!

Start following some authors that post good content and upvote them as well. Follow Me! Make some friends and you will be well on your way to earning some nice curation rewards and growing your following.

I have created some great YouTube videos that you can watch to learn all about Steemit and how to succeed using it. A new video will be released every week so consider subscribing to learn even more about Steemit! If you ever have any questions, or need help with something, feel free to comment on the videos as well.

Regarding your questions, the vote value on a post is determined by the vote value of the people who vote on it. Therefore, if one person has a vote value of $10 and votes on your post then you will have $10 on that post along with one vote. However, if 100 people who have vote values of $0.01 each all vote on your post then you will only have $1 on that post along with 100 votes.

Best Of Luck!

Welcome,

I'm here for a few months and nothing makes sense to me either.

The coin minded people seem to thrive here.
your (25) value somehow affects things. the more valued posts you write the more your personal value will rise so you need time and patience,
And lost of followers who stay in touch with you.

This is actually the part i dislike however it seems to be key to the entire sysem. Still making up my mind what to think of it.

There are many people who have high influence rating as well as high steem power. If they upvote then you will get high rewards .

You can check steem power by clicking the user profile and checking his/her wallet details.

Welcome to steemit 🙏🏻🙂

Not all votes are equal. If you are a whale, then your vote will be bigger, probably. That is capitalism. Work hard, get bigger.
